Washington Informer
As many cities across the United States scale back or cancel Juneteenth events due [which is Thursday this week] to vanishing corporate sponsorships and shrinking municipal support, the Washington, D.C., region is pushing forward with a full calendar of commemorations aimed at honoring the nation’s second Independence Day.
Across the country, funding gaps and political shifts have caused a retreat from the surge of support that followed the 2021 federal recognition of Juneteenth. In Denver, the city’s widely known Juneteenth Music Festival was shortened from two days to one after more than a dozen corporate sponsors pulled their funding.
“They pulled back their investments or let us know they couldn’t or wouldn’t be in a position to support this year,” said Norman Harris, executive director of the festival, crediting community donors with keeping the event alive. More
Pathetic non-holiday that is little more than just another excuse to not work.
It should be celebrated as the anniversary of the Rosenberg’s execution anyway.
why should i have to pay for the usual assholes to shoot each other?
Shhh!Listen carefully!
Isn’t everyday Juneteenth in America?
Nxxxxr fatigue.
Nobody goes to Juneteenth festivals unless they want to get shot or to shoot somebody. So, nobody wants to finance Juneteenth festivals out of fear of being sued after some dumbfuck tarantula head shoots into a crowd… again.

I’ll be remembering and celebrating what would’ve been my mom’s 100th birthday on June 19th and mot some made up politically correct holiday. Happy 100 mom, you made it to 93 in 2018 and were married to dad for 65 and a half years.
Not, darned fingers.
CHEERS, GEOFF..TO YOU AND YOUR GREAT MOM
The hokey, patronizing, illiterate name doomed it from the start. I’ve seen in spelled “Juneteeth”, like some dental association PSA to get your kids to come in for a checkup during Summer vacation. And my wife, bless her ESL heart, thought it was over last week, on Junetenth. Makes sense to me, though. The racial huckster Idiots should have learned from Kwaanzzaa.

You burned our stores down and the ones that you didn’t burn were looted of everything and you want us to support you?
Got a whole month. Got a “special” day. Got at least one whole channel on Xfinity cable.
While the date may hold some significance, there are several to many such dates in U.S. history. Overturning what is known as ‘Jim Crow’ which is itself several dates. Perhaps a day of sober reflection on the Tulsa Black Wall Street. It is an ongoing series of events.
The continued demonizaiton of “the melting pot” for cultural assimilation is indicative of the problem, as the “tossed salad” approach is pretty much water and oil. Or perhaps more like water and sodium.
Ask Beyonce for the $$$ or is she a Cowgirl now?

Apparently the CMA has now eliminated the Artist of the year category. Every Country singer should boycott the Grammy’s next year.
Can we leave June to man/woman wedding month like it always was?
By the way, I was forced to go to a Target today (UGh. I showered after) and it was all USA gear and not a rainbow in sight. Friend made a purchase. I didn’t. lol
The goddamned school district is off Thursday for a fake holiday and Friday is the last day of school and a half day. It’s pure unadulterated bullshit
My Credit Union is closed on June 19.
must not be enough opportunities to squat down & shake your asses the rest of the time
Wiredog, my Credit Union is also closed on Thursday. Don’t Forget The Rules, my how time flies, has it really been 13 years since 2012 when John Derbyshire was shitcanned by NRO for speaking the truth about blacks. Between that and the left canceling Dilbert for the same supposed crime of telling the truth about blacks, I don’t know which is worse. The left cannot handle the truth but what else would I expect from the left whose muse is Satan the father of all lies.
Demwits celebrating the most stupid, stubborn black ex-slaves in America, who sided with white Southern obstructionists and refused to accept their freedom until force to…OK modern plantation dwellers, you do you – without US taxpayer support.
Nobody should be celebrating this idiocy. It can’t be sustained. This serves no purpose or benefit. Another grifting opportunity of the left.
